No, just undo the screws. I leave a middle one in each side to hold it up in place.
Make sure the joint faces are CLEAN. Wurth do a good sealant.
Check the rear vertical face for holes.
Try to leave filling the sump with oil for 24 hours until the sealant has set.

Thanks for reply.
I was wondering how much dismantling is required to actually get it out? i.e Roll bar, prop shaft? Does front engine acoustic cover come out once axle is dropped by jacking on chassis?

I just dropped mine. Sump only. Didn't touch anything else. I don't have anti roll bars fitted.
